President Tamas Sulyok is scheduled to open the session at 10am. Lawmakers will sing the national anthem before Sulyok greets the assembly and asks the ranking lawmaker to head the meeting.

The House will then hear the reports from the head of the National Election Committee, Robert Sasvari, and that of the National Election Office, Attila Nagy, on the April 12 election.

Of the 199 seats in parliament, Tisza won 141 places, Fidesz 44, the Christian Democrats 8, and the Our Homeland Movement 6.

Sulyok will make a proposal as to who should take the post of prime minister. He asked Magyar to form a government on April 15.

Lawmakers will elect the Speaker of Parliament in a secret vote and the deputy speakers and notaries in an open roll.

Once the Speaker takes over the session's leadership, parliament will elect the prime minister with a simple majority. The new head of government will then take his oath and address MPs.

Lawmakers will then decide whether the new parliament should debate a proposal on announcing the new ministries and another on lifting the state of emergency introduced by the previous government connected with the Russia-Ukraine war.

The session will end with decisions on setting up parliamentary committees and electing their officials.

The national flag will be hoisted with military honours, and a parade will be held in front of Parliament after Magyar's election, ahead of a "people's celebration of the regime change" to be held in Kossuth Square and on the banks of the Danube.
